Hello,
i have a classic Mac Pro 3,1 running on 10.14.5 via dosdudes Mojave Patcher and a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GB.
Some People say it is impossible to install the GPU on that Machine because of the lack of SSE4.2 instructions.
But i have seen proof of concept that it works.
You need a fixed metal driver from netkas and somehow sign it or use DisableLibraryValidation.
Also, there is some beta kext or something made by a forum member from macrumors that can make all the magic happen on 10.14.6.
The Problem is, after i spend a whole day and night trying to make it run, i failed.
Can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to make it work?
I‘m a newbie in „modding“ macOS and i really need your help.
I also could not extract the patched metal driver from netkas (bz2-file). Every archiver throws an error when attempting to extract it.
Things that i found so far:

RX 580 won't boot macOS on MP 3.1
I'm thinking they are referring to the fact that Windows users can use new AMD cards, without SSE 4.2. Phenom II's I think are limited to sse4 or 4.1. You can use an RX460 in a 3,1 if you only use Windows on it. Why have a mac pro at that point? The SSE 4.2 thing is only forced to DX12 use in...
